Parameters of deltorphin II-mediated desensitization of hDOR and hDOR(S363A) calculated using the operational model

Parameters of the operational model (eq. 1) (Em = operational maximum; τcontrol, τdel-wt, and τdel-S363A are operational efficacies for untreated cells and deltorphin II pretreated hDOR/CHO or hDOR(S363A)/CHO cells, respectively; KA = dissociation constant) were calculated by fitting the dose response curves of stimulation of GTPγ [35S] binding or inhibition of cAMP production.
